Modification or Discharge of Restrictive Covenants

Restrictive covenants are legal rules tied to a property’s title that control how it can be used or built upon, like limits on building size or type. If these rules are broken, or if you want to change them, our lawyers can help, but it’s a difficult process that can be costly and time-consuming

Notation of Death on Title & Transfer by Transmission

When a property owner in Jamaica passes away, updating the property title quickly and accurately is super important because of succession law. We handle all the legal steps to get the death officially noted on the title and make sure the property gets transferred to the right beneficiaries or personal representatives.

Estate Planning & Administration (Property-Related)

Beyond just handling property transfers after someone has passed, our real estate lawyers also help with planning ahead. This means we can assist you in creating your will so you can clearly lay out exactly how your properties and other assets should be shared after you’re gone.

Commercial & Residential Lease Agreements

Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, we’re here to help you with lease agreements for both homes and businesses. We handle drafting, reviewing, and negotiating key aspects like rent, duration, and maintenance to protect your interests. Our role ensures you fully understand your commitments and secure advantageous terms, especially when dealing with complex commercial leases.

Lost Certificate of Title

In Jamaica, the process for replacing a lost land title is set out in the Registration of Titles Act, and it comes with a few key steps you’ll need to follow. Our lawyers walk you through every part of it — including one of the most important parts, which is publishing a public notice in the local newspaper.

This ad gives notice to the public and allows anyone with an objection to come forward. We handle the entire advertising process for you, making sure it follows the Registrar’s rules on how often it must run and what needs to be included. After publication, we submit the tear sheets as proof — a step that’s essential for avoiding delays and keeping your application on track.

Sometimes losing a title happens right when you need to sell the property or take out a mortgage. If that’s the case, we can also apply to dispense with the production of the original title — so your transaction can move ahead while the lost title application is being processed.

Whether you’re the registered owner, managing an estate as a personal representative, or acting for a company, we’ll make sure your application is accurate, well-documented, and in line with your overall property goals. Our job is to help you get your title reissued without unnecessary setbacks — and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
